01:12 It was repelled by the British and American armies, we talk about it in this newspaper.
01:18 [Music]
01:22 I told you in title, the Kingdom of Morocco has just been elected to the presidency of the United Nations Human Rights Council for 2024.
01:32 An election that took place during a vote today in Geneva,
01:37 among the 47 members of the United Nations Human Rights Council,
01:42 30 supported Morocco's candidacy against South Africa.
01:48 Only 17 of them were elected.
01:51 It is a historic election according to the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
01:56 This election in Morocco, for the first time in its history,
02:01 to the presidency of this prestigious UN body,
02:04 expresses a recognition, a clairvoyance, a vision of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI by the international community.
02:10 A recognition in terms of protection and promotion of human rights.
02:16 In the news also, the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bourita, received today Alistair McPhail,
02:30 a special envoy from the British government, for the UN Summit on Africa for Investment 2024,
02:40 a bilateral meeting that took place today in Rabat, at the headquarters of the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
02:47 69 new sources of water have sprung up following the earthquake of the House,
02:57 the Minister of Equipment and Water, Nisar Baraka,
03:01 yesterday, during an exhibition presented to the members of the Commission for Infrastructure,
03:06 Energy, Mines and Environment at the House of Representatives.
03:10 Nisar Baraka thus assured that changes had been well observed in the flow of water sources after the earthquake of the House.
03:18 He noted that some sources had seen their flow increase, while others had seen it decrease,
03:25 and this in addition to the appearance of new sources.
03:30 The Ministry of Equipment and Water has also announced the allocation of 469 million dirhams
03:36 for the repair of the damage suffered by the hydraulic infrastructure following the earthquake in the region.
03:42 The Minister of National Education, Pre-School and Sports, Akib Ben Moussa,
03:52 has visited the State Inspection Office of the Advanced Training Workshops on the Approach to Explanatory Teaching.
04:00 These training courses are organized in favor of primary and secondary school teachers
04:04 in the famous pioneering schools at the Regional Academy of Education and Regional Training, Rabat, Salle and Kenitra.
04:12 As an example, watch this report by Maha Jamel and Driss Beyout.
04:16 The story is signed, never written.
04:19 The training workshops are focused on the approach to explanatory teaching,
04:26 an approach that aims to address the challenge of mastery and improvement of basic learning.
04:32 The Minister of National Education, Pre-School and Sports visited these workshops,
04:38 which are part of the monitoring of the implementation programs of the requirements of the procedural framework for the years 2023 and 2024.
04:45 This is a field visit to this workshop of the basics.
04:51 It is a field visit to this workshop of teaching training at the level of the provincial directions of Rabat for the field of successful teaching.
04:59 These teachers have a training of three days, but they have already started the implementation of this new teaching methodology.
05:06 We noticed a kind of ease on the part of the teachers because this new methodology helps them.
05:11 The training workshops also aim to equip teachers with the required skills to implement the pedagogical approach of explanatory teaching.
05:23 As a proactive approach, we complement the previous sessions on teaching at a good level.
05:29 As a corrective approach, we are among the four components of the pioneering school project.
05:35 Today's course is dedicated to effective teaching.
05:42 Today's training is dedicated to effective teaching.
05:45 The goal is to allow teachers to appropriate this pedagogical model adopted by the pioneering schools.
05:52 It also aims to strengthen this new methodology.
05:55 It is a new project in the field of experience, as other projects.
06:04 This new project brings several positive points, including the preparation of the rooms.
06:12 There is a certain ease that is created at the level of the teacher's work, especially regarding the documents and what we need.
06:19 But of course there are remarks, as for any other project, in the face of trial.
06:24 This project is part of the 2021-2026 roadmap for the service of a quality public school,
06:37 based on a participatory approach that meets the expectations of students, their families and the pedagogical framework.
06:43 We stay in Morocco with the General Parquet, after the Court of Appeal of Casablanca, which ordered yesterday the opening of an investigation following the misleading dissemination of information
06:56 on the involvement of national personalities and institutions in an international drug trafficking case.
07:03 This investigation comes after the Parquet learned of content broadcast on certain social networks,
07:11 and the involvement of parliamentarians or officials in the application of the law in the case of drug trafficking.
07:21 Twenty-five individuals were arrested in front of the Parquet.
07:25 In Sometribarti, in Aqaba today, in Jordan, the country hosted a meeting,
07:33 meeting King Abdallah II of Jordan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Palestinian Mahmoud Abbas.
07:41 The objective was to discuss the dangers of development in Gaza, but also the situations in South Jordan.
07:46 This meeting is held as part of the efforts deployed by Jordan to coordinate Arab positions to obtain an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip
07:56 and the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid on the spot.
08:01 The head of American diplomacy, Antony Blinken, met with the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
08:10 to discuss the post-war situation in Gaza, despite numerous diplomatic efforts.
08:16 Nothing seems to be able to put an end to the war.
08:19 In Gaza, the UN is shooting again in its fourth month,
08:24 and once again the alarm bell is ringing about the disastrous conditions of the Palestinian population in the territory besieged by Israel.
08:33 The US Secretary of State, who insisted yesterday with the Israeli Prime Minister
08:40 on the importance of sparing the Palestinian civilians in his war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip,
08:46 during a meeting with Benyamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv,
08:49 Antony Blinken reaffirmed the US support for Israel's right to prevent a repeat of the 7 October attacks,
08:57 but he said that the number of civilian victims in Gaza was too high.
09:03 In this context, the Israeli Defense Minister said that increasing pressure on Iran was crucial
09:14 and could thus prevent a regional escalation of the war in Gaza on other fronts.
09:20 Yoav Galint said during a meeting in Tel Aviv with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
09:28 that the fears of a regional escalation of hostilities between Israel and its other enemies have ceased to grow since the beginning of the war in Gaza.
09:37 He thus mentioned an informal alliance of armed groups supported by Iran in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
09:46 I read you the title, the British and American armies have repelled the most important attack of the Houthis in the Red Sea to date.
09:57 This is an announcement by the British Defense Minister Grant Shapps.
10:02 During the night, the two armies shot down drones and missiles fired by Houthi rebels in the context of a so-called complex attack.
10:11 This is what the American army has learned.
10:16 This is the 26th attack targeting commercial maritime traffic in the Red Sea since mid-November.
10:24 On Tuesday evening, the US and British forces shot down 18 drones and 3 missiles fired by Houthi rebels against the British government.
10:33 This is the most important attack of the Yemeni rebels to date.
10:37 The United Kingdom and its allies have already said clearly that these illegal attacks are unacceptable
10:43 and that if they continue, the Houthis will suffer the consequences.
10:47 We will take the necessary measures to protect innocent lives and the world economy.
10:53 Drones and missiles have been shot down by combat aircraft deployed since the US aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower,
11:00 three American destroyers and a British warship since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas.
11:06 The Houthis, who control a large part of Yemen, are multiplying the attacks in the Red Sea to slow down international maritime traffic,
11:14 claiming to act in solidarity with the Palestinians of Gaza.
11:17 The crisis is not only a transportation crisis.
11:20 The consequences of these tensions will be more serious than the crisis of maritime transport.
11:25 These tensions will trigger a state of panic in the region.
11:30 This will lead to a flurry of investments and changes in consumer behavior.
11:35 This will even affect development plans and business investment strategies.
11:40 These changes will have a negative impact on the economy.
11:46 The United States and Israel have set up an international coalition in December
11:51 to protect maritime traffic from attacks by the Houthis in this strategic zone,
11:56 where 12% of the world's trade is transiting.
11:59 We are leaving France, where Gabriel Attal was appointed as Prime Minister in place of Elisabeth Borne,
12:07 who resigned from her government the night before.
12:11 At 34 years old, Gabriel Attal becomes the youngest Prime Minister in the history of the French Republic.
12:20 Former Minister in charge of public accounts and former spokesman for the government,
12:24 Gabriel Attal has been Minister of National Education since July 2023.
12:28 I propose to listen to this excerpt of his speech during the passing of power in Matignon.
12:33 The youngest President of the Republic of History appoints the youngest Prime Minister in history.
12:39 I want to see only one symbol there, that of audacity and movement.
12:44 The symbol is also and perhaps above all the confidence, that given to youth,
12:51 this generation that deserves to be fought for without reluctance.
12:55 I think in particular of the middle class, the beating heart of our country,
13:00 the craftsman of the greatness and strength of our French nation.
13:03 These women, these men, these families who get up every morning to go to work,
13:08 who populate our territory and who are not often heard,
13:11 but who are always at the rendezvous of their responsibilities.
13:14 This middle class, which works and finances our public services and our social model.
13:20 These French who sometimes do not find themselves there anymore.
13:24 Frenchmen doubt, but deep down I know they hope too.
13:28 Because deep down, in the deepest of our conscious of Frenchmen in love with our country,
13:34 we know it, France will never rhyme with decline.
13:38 Jorji, -3 before, the Cannes in Ivory Coast and the heads of the Moroccan companies on site
13:45 are already on the starting blocks to accompany the Lions of the Atlas.
13:51 And it is to whom will give the most voice during this unprecedented sports campaign.
13:56 You will see it in this report by Hippolyte Dier and Ange.
13:59 Wilfrid, put it in, we look.
14:02 The Moroccan community of Ivory Coast continues to multiply strategies
14:06 to better provide its support to the Lions of the Atlas.
14:09 In addition, creators of video content and bikers who have illustrated themselves well,
14:13 the business leaders are more involved in the mobilization to allow their national football team
14:19 to make an excellent sports campaign.
14:21 In Portbouy, a commune located in the southern part of Abidjan,
14:24 we find Zakaria Elouardi, young manager of a company specializing in delivery and logistics.
14:30 The company, which employs 300 Ivorians, is already in the colors of Morocco through flags and jerseys.
14:36 We will try to retouch our program in relation to the matches in Morocco and the Ivory Coast.
14:42 We will also start a delegation in San Pedro to support the Lions of the Atlas.
14:47 El Hamzaoui Saad, has been living for more than three decades in Ivory Coast,
14:51 manages a company specialized in aluminum cutlery
14:54 and holds the post of President of the Chamber of Commerce and Moroccan Industries in Ivory Coast.
14:59 He specifies that the measures are taken at the level of his company and the party to better support Morocco.
15:05 We will have a TV and Parabola device to allow us to follow together in the conditions and atmosphere of the match.
15:18 The meetings will be followed from the general management to all employees together in a room
15:26 that will allow us to follow the match and also support our teams.
15:32 The Lions of the Atlas reached the semifinals of the last World Cup.
15:36 This performance reassures their supporters in Ivory Coast.
15:40 For them, the team will be able to finish as winners of the competition.
15:44 We have faith in our team. All the provisions of the Royal Federation have been taken.
15:51 The squad has been carefully arranged to be in optimal condition.
15:56 Dear members of the Moroccan national team, as a Moroccan living in Ivory Coast,
16:02 we are proud of what you have accomplished in the World Cup.
16:06 We wish you a lot of luck and success for this camp.
16:11 As a reminder, Morocco, housed in Group F, plays the pool phase of the 2023 camp in Saint-Pedro,
16:16 a city in the south-west of Ivory Coast, 350 km from Abidjan, the country's economic capital.
16:23 Le Flamme, the second edition, the city of Marrakech will host the African Book Festival in Marrakech in early February.
16:34 A new edition that promises captivating programming with themes related to scientific news,
16:42 but also editorial in Africa and several voices inspired by writers, thinkers and intellectuals
16:48 from the African continent and its diasporas have already responded.
16:53 The organizers have promised a rich edition this year at their press conference.
16:59 Among them, the famous plastician and writer Mahi Binbin,
17:04 who is also president of the Marrakech African Book Festival, offers you to listen to him.
17:10 It is a huge literary festival.
17:15 We invited something like 55 African writers from all over Africa,
17:23 Afro-descendants and people from the diaspora, Africans from the diaspora.
17:28 So we have round tables, we have an inaugural lesson that starts on the first day with Suleiman Bachir Diagne.
17:36 We have interviews, big interviews.
17:41 And it's a pleasure for me to invite Edgar Morin,
17:46 who will be interviewed by Mathias Senar, by Bachir Diagne, by maybe Le Clesiot too,
17:59 because he is a little bit suffering, but I hope he will join us.
18:04 So we have round tables, palabra coffees.
18:11 And then, especially, this year, for this second edition of the Flamme,
18:17 we have a little bit relocated the festival.
18:21 Several authors will go to the UM6P in Ben Gurir,
18:27 to meet students at the University of Qadiriyat and especially in the schools in Marrakech.
18:34 And this year, and it's a news, there will be a giant dictation at the Menara.
18:42 There will be thousands of schoolchildren, high school students and their parents.
18:48 They are welcome for this giant dictation that will take place at the Menara, in French, English and Arabic.
19:00 And that's it for the Flamme program, second edition in Marrakech,
19:04 from 8 to 11 February, next in the Villocre.
19:08 It's one of the events, another cultural event, this time in Senegal,
19:14 the second edition of the FESNAC. It is the National Festival of Arts and Culture,
19:21 which was held in Fatigue, more than 145 km from Dakar.
19:25 And this year, the Kingdom of Morocco, a friendly country of Senegal, is the guest of honour of this edition.
19:33 A strong Moroccan delegation, led by the Minister of Youth and Culture,
19:39 Mohamed Mehedi Ben Said, attended the opening ceremony.
19:43 Let's watch this report by Daoud Assou and Moussa Ndiaye.
19:47 Fatigue, in the centre of the country, welcomed the second edition of the National Festival of Arts and Culture, FESNAC.
19:56 An artistic event, rich in history, tradition, sound and light, placed under the sign of Senegalese-Moroccan friendship.
20:11 Morocco is the guest of honour of this 12th FESNAC.
20:16 Moroccan and Senegalese examples were given as a model in the face of identity crisis.
20:22 We are here to celebrate these mutual specificities,
20:27 because this Moroccan-Senegalese relationship is rooted in our heritage and our mutual singularities.
20:34 I would like to insist on one of them, in particular, the one that brings us together here in Fatigue,
20:42 the city of Mr President, culture, in its different dimensions, heritage, history and identity.
20:50 In a world tormented by more and more identity nebroses,
20:56 Senegal, like Morocco, offers this rare example of societies living pluralism in serenity.
21:04 This edition of FESNAC also consists of bringing to life Senegalese arts and letters,
21:11 an occasion seized by the Senegalese President to remind the importance of arts and culture.
21:17 FESNAC is the nobleness of letters that adds to the brilliance of this edition, coupled with the National Book Fair.
21:31 For all these reasons, culture has always been at the heart of our public policies.
21:41 Thus, on the tracks of the first World Festival of Black Arts in 1966,
21:51 the Biennale of Dakar saw the light of day, followed by FESNAC.
21:58 We have created cultural infrastructures, including the National School of Arts and the Profession of Culture,
22:08 the National Theater of Aynel Sorano, the Grand Theater of Oudoundaï Koumba Rose,
22:15 the Museum of Black Civilizations, the Museum dedicated to the life and work of the Prophet Muhammad,
22:26 which I will inaugurate on February 6 in Dakar.
22:32 The 12th edition of the National Festival of Arts and Culture of FESNAC,
22:38 from January 8 to 12, 2024.
22:41 The theme is "Emaki, Arts and Heritage".
22:46 An edition until January 12.
22:50 Next, it's the end of this edition.
22:52 Thank you for following it.
22:53 Stay tuned.
22:54 The information continues on our antenna.
